UFO white with orange glow and tail spotted above houses moving fast and changing direction sharply. Electricity then cut in the house

On New Years Eve 1979 around 6pm my mum was popping milk bottles outside on our front step. My mum suddenly called for me to come and look at something strange in the sky. I was around 6 years old and remember clearly going to join my mum on the front step of out house where she pointed to a bright object in the sky. It was hovering at high distance above a tree opposite our house, stationary in the sky. It then began to move slowly then suddenly stop again, change direction and then shoot off at an incredibly fats pace over the tops of houses opposite. The object was Oval in shape and white centre with an orange glow and tail. It was silent and really unusual to see how quickly it could stop, changes direction and then accelerate.

Upon turning aback to go into the house all the electricity had gone off. My mum called my dad who was a Fireman on duty at the time to tell him what we had seen and to look out of their window. My mum rang the electricity company who found that somehow the company fuse for our house only had somehow blown out.
